Canadian politicians are talking about setting up a Canadian DARPA. Tying precious research dollars to military applications is not an efficient way to innovate and will lead to obscenities like the self-healing minefield. Encourage start-ups, not the military industrial complex.

Of course it was the most successful funder. It had by far the most money to spend. The question is would that taxpayer money have been better spent if it had not been required that every project have a military application. Are self-healing minefields a good use of money?
Not true - NSF has a bigger budget (and NIH even bigger). It's the funding model. Almost all research has civilian and military applications. And surely you don't think self-healing minefields are a more significant example of DARPA-funded research than the Internet.
